Fellow Hams,
I sent this message yesterday but apparently it did not make it. Forgive
me if this is dupe. I am new to this reflector but have been on the
Collins for many years and know there is a wealth of experience and
information available on the reflectors.
I recently acquired a FT-901D, no built in keyer, from a ham just too
old to operate any longer. Cosmetics are good and the only function that
does not operate is the Reject/Width but that's for another day. Here
is my present problem as I work CW almost exclusively have had an MFJ
Electronic Keyer for over twenty years. I have used it on Collins,
Drake, Kenwood and an FT-102 with no problems are need for modification.
The output from the keyer is phono plugs.. That leaves only two Keyer
circuit wires available to the three position plug into the FT-901D. I
have tried every wiring configuration possible using the two wires from
the Keyer to the Transceiver three conductor plug. When turing the
transceiver keyer switch to MAN, I get either a constant key down or
nothing depending on the wiring configuration. A straight hand key works
fine.
I am out of options and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
73, Don Carlson, K4KI
